Welcome to our page focusing on other Medieval languages! The MEMSLib team is also happy to present you with a selection of resources on languages spoken outside the British Isles in the Medieval and Early Modern period. We are working to expand this section to hopefully create individual pages for each language, and so are welcoming suggestions from our users. If you would like to collaborate with us, on adding to existing resources or create new ones, such as on Old Norse, please contact us here.
